February 2017

Developed by brewer Mark the recipe incorporates two Polish hops - Junga and Marynka as well as some Bramling Cross, a British variety, for bittering. Junga adds grapefruit, spicy & blackcurrant aromas and flavours to the beer while Marynka, used for dry-hopping, adds very floral, herby & resinous notes. Amber malt gives good body and a light biscuit flavour to the beer.

Named after the Polish word for ‘amber’ Jantar is available in cask and is out for delivery to pubs and bars across the country from Friday 17th onwards. It will feature on the bar at the brewery tap, The Beer Hall from week commencing 20th February.

Windermere Pale is now on the march to the Champion Beer of Britain finals after being declared the best beer in the North West by CAMRA at its Liverpool Beer festival, on Wednesday 15th February.

Windermere Pale has been given multiple awards by the Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA) since it was launched in 2009 plus it has a silver medal from “the Oscars of the brewing industry,” the International Brewing Awards.

This is the second time we’ve had the North West champion beer – Cumbrian 5 Hop won the title in 2013. As a result this will be the 7th year in a row that we’ll have a beer in the Champion Beer of Britain finals.
